What are nodes?

[pdxSherpa]

Good morning all.
Don't know what nodes are. A very quick google search indicates they are a dom that can be manipulated w/js.

is there a great link or tutorial on nodes you folks really like and can point me to?
thx

This question would be more appropriate for the javascript forum than CSS. But a quick answer is a node is an 'object unit' in the DOM. A node can be an element ( both block and inline), such as IMG, SPAN, P, LI, etc. It can( but DOESNT have to be) be a child or a parent or another node. and it can also be just the actual text content inside a tag.

hope that helps

The following node types exist:

Element eg. <div> <p>
Attr
Text ie the text in between the other nodes
CDATASection ie the content of: <![CDATA[ ]]>
EntityReference
Entity
ProcessingInstruction
Comment ie the content of <!-- -->
Document
DocumentType
DocumentFragment ie. a placeholder for nodes not yet attached to the document
Notation
